Removing Advertising Decals from Car Windows

To remove small decals from a window surface on your car, you have to be very cautious not to scratch or damage the window. In this case, you are going to need a plastic razor blade, a Whizzy Plastic Blade to be precise. Alternatively, you may use the rectangular blades that are meant for box cutters.

Park the car in the sun to warm the decal: decals are easier to remove when warm.

If the surface is dirty, you should clean and dry it thoroughly before removing the decals.

Using the blade, scrape the surface of the decals gently, starting from one end in a back and forth motion.

Once through, use a glass cleaner to remove any residue left behind.

Removing Decals from Car Body

If the decals you are trying to remove are located on the body of the car, you need to make use of the right tool in order to remove them safely. In this case, a plastic razor blade is going to be too slow.

As such you will need either a wonder wheel or a Whizzy wheel. The Whizzy Wheel is the best tool and the below easy steps will help you remove any decal in minutes:

Attach the Whizzy wheel you have purchased to a standard domestic drill.

Adjust the speed of the drill to between 2500 and 4000 RPM (revolutions per minute)

You should then start the drill and apply the Whizzy wheel to the decal surface, press it gently against the car body and swirl it in a back-to-forth-motion.

This should remove the decal easily and fast. If any adhesive is left behind after removing the decal, you can use an adhesive remover to wipe it off.

Dos and Don’ts

Do not use excessive pressure as this will make you scratch the car surface

Work on a small part of the decal at a time for the best results.

Do not use metal razor blades on car body because they can damage the paint

Do it yourself advertisement decals removal from the surface of your car is quite an easy task, contrary to what many decals removal professionals might have told you.
